[Shikamaru's a hard man to find after this (on-going) thread.
He doesn't return to his apartment until the next morning, through the spare bedroom and not the front door. It's doubtful anyone else will catch him outside of his own floor for the next several days, though he always has his journal on him.
Those days are also partially spent tracking down Tony Stark, Law, Itachi, Gold, Silver, and a few others in his building to warn them about Hidan. Masaomi will no doubt hear from him when he gets back, and Riku may have learned what he needs to know from Ino before Shikamaru gets to him, but they're both on the list. He'll also be visiting the Avatar house for a few people in particular, but given that's half the house he won't be shunning anyone else he runs into there.]

[Or overthink, for that matter. She can tell from the start that he's tired and if not only because this conversation is urgent, she wouldn't have pressed him on it. She knows sleep is important to him and to know he seems too bothered to even sleep says something.]
You'll need to rest and reserve your energy for when something comes up. [A sigh as she looks to the side.] I guess we both do.
[action!]
This thought process clicks with her words, however, and he looks back over to her.]
You didn't stay up this whole time too, did you?
[action!]
Of course not. I managed to sleep a few hours. [Which would probably indicate that, yes, she had trouble sleeping too.]
[action!]
You should try for another six.
[action!]
[Yes, she'd try any means necessary to get him to sleep.]
[action!]
[action!]
[action!]
[Which he is more than grateful for, in it's normalcy.]
[action!]
I'm sure you're very grateful deep inside. -Oh, and don't be late for breakfast later, alright?
[action!]
[Still walking for the door.]
[action!]
[Sigh.]
But for you, I'll probably make an exception.
[action!]
[He waves over his shoulder. Later. He'll be there.]
